FEMA Officials Arrive at Sago Mine Disaster

SAGO, WV - FEMA officials arrived yesterday in response for rescue assistance by town officials. Thirteen miners were trapped over two weeks ago on January 2 when an explosion ocurred blocking their exit and all attempts at rescue. Although the miners bodies had been recovered and one was found alive, FEMA officials nevertheless finally arrived at the small West Virginian community after President Bush signed funding approval and the officials had completed a Mapquest training session. Although there was little they could do help, the officials were able to assist with coffee service at the memorial reception.
